Players of the Bangladesh women’s team were upbeat yesterday on their rest day, riding the high of their tremendous 3-1 win over five-time champions India in their final group-stage match of SAFF Women’s Championship in Nepal on Wednesday.
Bangladesh pacer Khaled Ahmed replaced Taskin Ahmed in the 15-member squad for the second Test against South Africa, scheduled to start on October 29, at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram.
Under pressure following a listless 1-1 draw against Pakistan in their first match and destabilised by the talk of rift between the coach and senior players becoming public, Bangladesh couldn’t have come up with a better response than their 3-1 win against five-time SAFF Women’s Championship winners India in their final Group A fixture at the Dasharath Stadium in Kathmandu yesterday.
Peter Butler, Bangladesh women’s football team’s head coach, emerged a different man from what he was three days earlier following a frustrating 1-1 draw in the first match of SAFF Women’s Championship against Pakistan in Kathmandu.
Bangladesh forward Tohura Khatun scored a brace and midfielder Afeida Khandaker netted one in a thumping 3-1 win over India in their final Group A game in the SAFF Women’s Championships at the Dashrath Rangasala stadium in Nepal on Wednesday.
Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto put forth the same old worn out excuses of ‘not executing plans’ and ‘poor wickets at home’ as reasons for the utter humiliation at the hands of India in the final T20I of the three-match series in Hyderabad yesterday, which ended in a crushing 133-run defeat.
Bangladesh’s Test temperament is often a cause for debate when looking at some of the batters’ approach in the longest format. Liton Das came under fire in the recent Sri Lanka series for charging a fast bowler when the team was already in trouble. This time too in Kanpur, barring one or two innings, the level of Test temperament needed to survive in international cricket was missing from the Tigers.
India batters Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant gifted their bats to Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan after the second and final Test between the sides at the Green Park stadium in Kanpur on Tuesday. It was Shakib’s final away Test for Bangladesh who lost the match by seven wickets and went down 2-0 in the series. Kohli brought out his bat and gave it to Shakib and Pant followed suit as players from both sides started to gather for the presentation ceremony. Photo: BCB
Bangladesh head coach Chandika Hathurusingha admitted that the gulf in skill and quality between his side and India led to the crushing defeat seven-wicket defeat in the second and final Test at the Green Park stadium in Kanpur.
